Applications for August 2027 will open in Spring 2027.
40 participants will receive the opportunity to visit Magdalen for a three-day residential programme, with activities including Physics and Engineering taster sessions by Oxford tutors, tours of Magdalen and Oxford, and guidance about the Oxford admissions process.
The Physics & Engineering Residential will likely take place on 17th-19th August 2027 (exact dates tbc). It is entirely free for participants.
Eligibility: It is essential that you meet all of the following criteria:
- Year 12 (or equivalent) student
- Under 18 years old at the time of the programme (due to safeguarding policies)
- Attending a UK state school or home-schooled (individuals who do not fit this criterion but who have extenuating circumstances may still apply)
- An interest in studying Physics, Engineering or a related subject at university
- Predicted to get at least A*AA at A-Level (or equivalent) unless there is a reason why you are predicted lower
Our events are aimed to help support students who come from backgrounds that are historically under-represented at Oxford. As such we will also be using the following criteria to assess applications:
- Your post-code (if you are from an area of low progression to university or from an area of high deprivation)
- If you are in receipt of Free School Meals
- If you will be the first your family to attend university
- You are care-experienced or are a young carer.
Applications for August 2027 will open in Spring 2027. Please note that applications are highly competitive.
